Characters I'd hire to help me take over the world

These are the people (or creatures) of questionable morals I'd count on to help me take over the world... and then I'd promptly kill them all.

Kefka

1. Kefka

Considering Kefka has experience in world domination and ruling, he's a no-brainer. I wouldn't even need to check his references. However, there was that little situation where he killed his former employer and threw him off a floating island.... We'll have to keep an eye on him.

Laharl

2. Laharl

Laharl has experience as the rule of the underworld and has successfully defeated other world rulers and claimed their realms as his own. He may seem young but he has a lot of ambition and power. is only flaw is that he does have a bit of a conscience, but we can probably work around that.

Ultros

3. Ultros

A perfect candidate as a "grunt" type of employee, it should be no problem to get this crazy octopus doing the dirty work. Key word: Insane. I'll have to make sure to keep him on a tight leash so he doesn't decide to start eating my other employees.

Apocalypse

4. Apocalypse

This one might have some people-skills issues, as he's somewhat of a megalomaniac and I doubt he's easy to work with. We'll give him a shot, but may let him go during the 6-month probationary period.

Arakune

5. Arakune

It says here in his "related work experience" "ea...tin.... th...ng....l..ot... of.... thi...gs..." Hmm, so he has some communication issuee, so I suppose PR-related work is out of the question, however it sounds like he'll be useful for bruiser-type tasks.

Dracula

6. Dracula

When asked if he had any allergies, he replied quite specifically -- "Garlic, Holy Water, and the sun". I'm sure we can work around Holy Water and the sun, but I dunno about the garlic one.... we'll have to ask our cooks if they won't mind coming up with some garlic-intolerant dishes for our pale friend.

Atlas

7. Atlas

Get this man on our "child conditioning" project, pronto! He has a knack for manipulating people... Warning: Do not, I repeat, do NOT do anything he requests that begins with "Would you kindly..."

Golbez

9. Golbez

We received this applicant's resume some time ago but since then have received word he has found employment with a "Save the World" foundation... It's too bad, as his credentials were impressive. We'll keep his name on file should he seek employment in the future.

Vega

10. Vega

On his application where we asked "Why do you want this job?" He wrote "I'll do anything for money as long as I can look good doing it". I'm sure we can find a grunt-level position for him where he can fulfill his narcissistic desires... and then dispose of him when he's no longer useful.

Shredder

11. Shredder

Note to supervisors: Shredder believes himself to have more combat prowess than he really does. If he whines that he's too good for grunt work, you have the authority to use corporal punishment.
